Comodo continues to out-perform SSL market

Manchester, UK, 8 October, 2003 — Independent research by a Canadian consulting firm has demonstrated that Comodo is the worlds fastest growing SSL Certification Authority. The research, carried out by E-Soft Inc., shows that during the period from April to September 2003 Comodo increased its global SSL certificate market share by 2.28%; an increase three times greater than that of any other Certification Authority.

Steve Roylance, Technical Marketing Director, Comodo Group, commented, “This research clearly demonstrates that the market is increasingly choosing Comodo to be its SSL provider. More and more web sites are voting with their feet and demanding security which is genuinely cost-effective whilst retaining its quality.” He continued, “Our InstantSSL range has shown that customers can have their confidence in ecommerce transactions reinforced without web sites having to make significant investments in their SSL security.”

Comodo’s highly-successful InstantSSL range starts from P.O.A. yet has full two-factor validation of domain name ownership and company legitimacy, 99.3% browser recognition and 128-bit encryption as standard.
